Great little property for a great price. Only things to be aware of is there is no mini fridge or coffee maker in the room. Great little coffeeshop, but definitely worth noting.

Warm rooms

We unfortunately had to call the front desk at 3 am due to extremely noisy people outside our room. The glass windows aren’t super noise proof. Thankfully the woman at the front desk got the people to leave. Not the hotels fault at all and thankfully we were able to change rooms for the next night as we had no idea if they were our neighbors or not. My only real complaint would be the rooms are warm. We ran the a/c all night and it did not cool the room enough. The second night our room was on the second floor and we had the same issue.
